The Flatrock Church of Christ had its beginning at the Union meeting house on Piney Fork of Beaverdam, Hickman County, Tennessee.  The Church of Christian Union was organized January 31, 1871.

The church at Union and Flatrock, on East Cane Creek, three miles North of Hohenwald, Tennessee were united by mutual consent of the disciples on on March 23, 1873.  Union continued to hold meetings until they moved to Salem on Big Swan Creek, in Lewis County, the third Lord's day in March, 1884.

On the second Lord's day in June, 1896, some members moved from Salem to Flatrock, choosing R. C. Brown, J. R. Bates, J. L. Downey, C. T. Brown, J. J. Edwards, and W. H. Downey as elders.  A. J. Edwards and W. H. Downey as deacons.

The old location was by a bluff with a large flat top, Hence the name Flatrock.  In 1944, the location of the church moved to its present location on the State highway 48 .
